To be fair, NFB were the ones who told MS not to continue development on their own Screen Reader. The reason Apple have carried on with their own development was because they never informed NFB

true, but Apple have not said they were going to make it accessible.
Microsoft made a bi of noise about this being accessible a while back.

Not just that, but with iWork we have at least seen that they are working on accessibility. While it isn't very good yet, iWork 08 is a lot better than iWork 06, which was totally unusable. So Apple is at least working on it.
That doesn't seem to be the case with Microsoft.
